Description: A Brief History of Portable Literature by Thomas Bunstead, Enrique Vila-Matas, Anne McLean Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A readers fictional tour of the art and lives of some of the great 20th-century Surrealists Publisher Description An author (a version of Vila-Matas himself) presents a short "history" of a secret society, the Shandies, who are obsessed with the concept of "portable literature." The society is entirely imagined, but in this rollicking, intellectually playful book, its members include writers and artists like Marcel Duchamp, Aleister Crowley, Witold Gombrowicz, Federico Garcia Lorca, Man Ray, and Georgia OKeefe. The Shandies meet secretly in apartments, hotels, and cafes all over Europe to discuss what great literature really is: brief, not too serious, penetrating the depths of the mysterious. We witness the Shandies having adventures in stationary submarines, underground caverns, African backwaters, and the cultural capitals of Europe.
